/REPORT: Keanu Reeves Is In Talks To Star In A Series About Infamous Serial Killer H.H. Holmes
According to Deadline, the star of the “The Matrix” is in talks to star with Leonardo DiCaprio in the upcoming Hulu series about infamous serial killer H.H. Holmes. The series is based on the book “The Devil In The White City.”
Deadline wrote the following details on the series:
The Devil in the White City tells the true story of two men, an architect and a serial killer, whose fates were forever linked by The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893. It follows Daniel H. Burnham, a brilliant and fastidious architect racing to make his mark on the world and Henry H. Holmes, a handsome and cunning doctor who fashioned his own pharmaceutical “Murder Castle” on fair grounds – a palace built to seduce, torture and mutilate young women. The story takes the viewer on a tour of murder, romance and mystery in the gilded age.
H.H. Holmes was one of the most notorious serial killers in the history of the United States.
While his exact murder count is unknown, it’s possible that he murdered up to 200 people, and he had a specially constructed house in Chicago to do his killings, according to Biography.com.
Devil in the White City is a fabulous book, a story well told, and should make an excellent film. And while I try not to let my enjoyment of films and music be deterred by the artist’s politics — Leonardo Di Caprio, for instance, is an obnoxious global warmist hypocrite, but he’s made some great films — it’s nice when they aren’t jerks. This account reveals that Keanu Reeves is, very quietly, a very nice, charitable guy. Which just makes it better.
